Challenge

The healthcare industry is a prime target for cyberattacks with a 69% increase in cyber-attacks from 2020 to 2022. The most common security breaches include phishing, malware, ransomware, theft of patient data, insider threats and hacked IOT devices. Since patient records contain a wealth of sensitive information, including names, addresses, Social Security numbers and medical histories, threat actors are active in their efforts to commit identity theft, fraud and other crimes. 

In addition to the financial and reputational damage that can be caused by a cyberattack, healthcare organizations are also subject to a number of regulatory requirements, including HIPAA, HITRUST, and HiTech. These regulations impose strict requirements on how healthcare organizations must protect patient information.
